Yes it's back - this will be the 14th season we have run this competition. For bonus points, list all the players who played in 2006 who will play this season (Nonu is the first one I can think of).
This is the thread for updates, results and comments - register interest here especially if you haven't played before. I'll also post to the Facebook group which I am sure will be seen by more people than this thread. 2 weeks today for the first game, the tipping form will go live this week.

What did he do wrong to deserve that?
Mind you, could have been worse.

Pocockwomble is one. Quite a few like Franks, Read, Leiliafano, Cooper, Genia started 2007.
AAC, I think, may be the only other. The older/longer serving Saffas all ran overseas even though some may still be selected at home if they were there.
Just the three I think and Nonu is by far the most experienced player in the comp in his 16th!!!! season of Super Rugby
Still feels like it should be cricket tipping season, but sounds like it's time to hit the concrete like grounds of preseason tipping training...
@Donsteppa yea cos this rugby in Feb business is such a new thing

And every year I reminisce about the glory days of Super 12 starting in the first weekend of March. Now get off my lawn! (... there's a cricket pitch to mow...)
@Donsteppa you must be thinking of Super 10 even...I checked, 1997 first game of S12 was on last day of Feb 
@taniwharugby that must mean it's well over 20 years since they dropped the "Wellington" etc parts of the name. Interesting.
@taniwharugby shortest thread diversion in TSF history, damn you.
OK tippers, the first tipping form of the season is live now.
Bookmark this link as it won't change all season, just the form will be updated after each set of games. Last season's squads are also available thanks to Duluth
Appreciate anything you can do in terms of chasing people up.

@Crucial We'll still have the cup for our late season peaks.
Ah yes, the good old 'prolong the failure cup'.
Pure luck on my part in that one. Kept coming up against no shows and better players having bad weeks.
My tips are in.
I don't know why I do this to myself.
Like a junkie trying to kick the habit but knowing they don't have the motivation.
Havent watched a Super Rugby game in about a decade but here I am again picking at the scabs

There's an idea the "MN5 Cup" for those with a passing interest in rugby for the last 10-20 years unless it's the ABs.

I think my tips are in but did over the phone so may not have worked?
That'll be my excuse too.

@Tim said in TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2019:
Congrats to all those who are tipping a week early .
I went to and then thought I should add the veneer of competence by waiting to see who was actually taking the field.
@antipodean like that matter in week 1!
Only these people have tipped so far - can you fire up the people you know to make sure they join in again. I'll post to the main sports forum as well.
